How much do remote quantum computing jobs pay per year?

As of Jun 19, 2026, the average yearly pay for remote quantum computing in the United States is $122,251.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $75,000.00 and $156,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a Remote Quantum Computing job?

A Remote Quantum Computing job involves researching, developing, or applying quantum computing technologies while working from a remote location. Professionals in this field may work on quantum algorithms, quantum hardware, or software development for quantum computers. Roles often include quantum researchers, software engineers, or data scientists specializing in quantum applications. These jobs typically require expertise in quantum mechanics, linear algebra, and programming languages like Python or Qiskit. Many companies and research institutions offer remote opportunities due to the growing demand for quantum expertise globally.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Remote Quantum Computing position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Remote Quantum Computing, you need strong knowledge of quantum mechanics, algorithms, and programming languages such as Python or Qiskit, usually supported by an advanced degree in physics, computer science, or a related field. Familiarity with quantum computing platforms like IBM Quantum Experience or Microsoft Azure Quantum, and certifications in quantum computing, can be beneficial. Exceptional problem-solving abilities, effective communication skills, and self-motivation are vital soft skills for success in a remote setting. These competencies ensure you can design, test, and collaborate on complex quantum solutions while effectively contributing to dispersed teams.

What are some typical challenges faced when working remotely in quantum computing?

One of the main challenges is collaborating effectively with colleagues across different time zones, which requires clear communication and planning to keep projects on track. You may also encounter difficulties accessing specialized quantum computing hardware, as much of the work happens through cloud-based simulators and limited direct hardware access. Staying current with this rapidly evolving field requires ongoing self-education and initiative. However, most teams foster a supportive environment through regular virtual meetings, mentorship, and shared documentation to help overcome these challenges.

Job description

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.

Atom Computing is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to implement the quantum computing platform. In this role, you'll work across the full stack to deliver the platforms and applications that give our customers access to our quantum computers, while accelerating the development of our next-generation systems. Your work will span quantum job compilation, quantum error correction, instrument calibration, and experimental data management - touching the layers of the stack where physics meets production software. You'll collaborate closely with a talented, tight-knit team of engineers and physicists, reporting to the Software Engineering Manager. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of deep science and engineering.

Candidates will also be considered for Atom's location in Boulder, CO and Austin, TX.  Under exceptional circumstances we may allow the position to be fully remote.

Job Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain public API features and open-source SDKs for running customer-provided jobs on our quantum hardware and simulators.
  • Develop and maintain infrastructure for automating system tuning and calibration.
  • Develop and maintain software for scheduling the execution and analyzing the results of quantum algorithms.
  • Work closely with our Quantum Engineers to write idiomatic, tested and extensible code for executing experiments and algorithms on our quantum hardware.
Experience & Education
  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of post-degree professional experience as a software engineer. 
Qualifications
  • A passion for writing software and a track record of implementing architecture level features in complex computer systems.
  • Proficiency with Python and SQL. Experience with a compiled language such as C++ or Rust is preferred. 
  • Familiarity with Git version control, automated testing, and software development best practices.
  • Willingness to learn atomic, optical, laser physics, and quantum mechanics concepts required to put work in context.
  • Experience with Azure, AWS and Terraform, Javascript, UI/UX design for webapps, and a background in physics are welcome, but not required.

Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance.  We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day!

The base salary range for this position is between $140,000 - $185,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.
